Chapter 6

After the event is done, I have cleared out three totes and half of another. "Can you take these to my car please?" I ask Jax as I see Gemma walking over. "Yeah babe." he says before kissing my cheek and grabbing the totes. Gemma walks over as he's walking away and asks "How'd it go?" I smile softly and say "Made almost $1200 today." I tell her and hand her half. "What's this?" she asks. "My donation to the fundraiser." I tell her and she hugs me. "How are you doing with everything?" she asks. "I don't know, honestly but I did tell Jax to just be patient with me. I'm not going to push for the annulment anymore." I tell her. "Good. Because you're one of us now baby. You're a Teller and that means something around here." she tells me and I nod. "Thank you Gemma. You've been really good to me." I say. "Sweetheart, you're the only baby girl I didn't want to drown." she tells me and we both start laughing.

After getting to the car and driving home, Jax behind me, we pull into the driveway. I get out and he grabs the totes while I unlock the door. After putting everything back in the den I say "I'll unpack and take inventory tomorrow. Thanks for helping today." I tell him. I look at him and decide that they are right. I deserve this. I walk over to Jax and as soon as I get to him I wrap my arms around his waist and he wraps his around my shoulders and we just stand there. "I need to talk to you." I tell him and he pulls back to look at me. I pull away from him and say "I talked to your mom and I thought about what she's told me and what Lisa said and decided I won't push for the annulment." I tell him and he smiles softly. "I'm not changing my name on anything...yet...but just take things a day at a time." I tell him. "I can live with that as long as you're mine." he tells me and I just nod. He walks over and pulls me into his arms and I just release a content sigh. "You...maybe...wanna stay?" I ask. He tilts my chin up and kisses me softly and says "I'd love to spend the night with my wife." he tells me and I lead him to the bedroom.

Walking into my bedroom, I move to the closet to change for bed and he starts stripping down to his boxers. He gets into bed along with me and he pulls me into his arms. Kissing me softly, he deepens the kiss before hovering over me. Breaking the kiss he says "We don't have to do anything you don't want to." I caress his face and ask "What if I want to?" Putting his forehead to mine, he says "Then I'll do anything you want me to." I lean up and kiss him softly and he deepens the kiss. We start shedding clothes in between kisses and he enters me slowly. We spend the rest of the night, making love and just being together before falling asleep wrapped around each other.

Waking up the next morning, I slip out of bed and start breakfast. I'm finishing up when I feel arms wrap around me from behind. He kisses my bare shoulder and says "Morning babe." I lean back into him just a little and say "Morning." I hand him his plate and he heads to the table with me following with mine. Sitting down, he asks "What's the plan for today?" I look at him and say "Taking inventory of what I still have left from yesterday and updating my website. What about you?" I ask. "Off today and but have a couple of errands to run but should be back in a little bit. That cool with you?" he asks. "Um...yeah...sure." I tell him still not sure about things. He tilts my chin up to look at him and says "I want this babe." I look at him and take a deep breath and say "Me too." He crashes his lips with mine and when we separate I say "I better get to work." He nods before kissing me one more time and heading out the door to run his errands. I head to my work room and just look at what I need to get done. "Guess I better get started." I say to myself.

Jax pulls up in front of a building and sees Janie and Juice there. "Thanks for meeting me. You sure this is the one she wanted?" Jax asks. "Yeah. Every time we come by here, she just stares at it. It would be perfect for what she's wanting." Janie says. About that time Elliott Oswald walks up. "Hey Jax. You said you wanted to meet?" Elliott asks. "Yeah. I wanted to talk about this building." Jax says. "You guys looking to expand?" Elliott asks and Jax shakes his head. "Nah. It's for my Old Lady. She runs her business from home and I wanted to get this place for her to open her shop up and she's been wanting this place." Jax says. "Old Lady?" Elliott asks. "Yeah. Wife actually. She was at the Taste of Charming thing yesterday. Makes the wall quilts and shit." Jax says. "Congratulations Jax. Wall Quilts. My wife bought one of those. Eva's Everlings is your wife?" he asks. "Yeah. She is." Jax says proudly and Janie smiles. "Well, let's see what we can work out." Elliott says.

A little later, Jax knocks on the door and when I open it, he pulls me to him as he walks inside and says "Grab your shoes babe. I want to show you something." I look at him confused and he says "Come on." I grab my shoes and bag and follow him to his bike. Getting on behind him, we head out to the center of Charming and we stop in front of the space I have been in love with for as long as I can remember. Getting off the bike, I ask "Where are we going?" He smirks and says "Here." and motions towards the shop. He takes the keys and opens it. "Why do you have keys?" I ask. "That's usually what they give you when you buy a place." he tells me and I look at him shocked. "Jax...you shouldn't have...I can't..." I start and he stops me with a kiss. "Baby listen to me. I know you love this place and it would be perfect for what you want for your business. I want you to see that I support you. I love this passion you have for what you do and if you want this place, you got it baby." he tells me. "You really bought this for me?" I ask. "Yeah babe. I did." he tells me. I kiss him softly and whisper "You make it really hard not to fall in love with you." Pulling me closer he says "That's the plan Darlin. Now, tell me what you want to do with the place." he says and I smile the first smile I've had in a long time.

Looking around, I start pointing out what I want where I want it. "I think some shelves would look great there and there but this area I want to put an area for me to work when I'm here but also an area for me to hold workshops." I tell him. "And over here I can put the register and over here..." I ramble and he cuts me off with a kiss. When we separate, he says "We'll get the club and Gemma to come and help set you up." he says softly. "Thank you Jax." I tell him and kiss him softly. He pulls away and pulls me over to a counter that's built in and shows me the deed. "This says Eva Teller. Jax..." I start and he says "You're a Teller babe." I look at the deed again and then at him and say "I'm a Teller." And I couldn't be happier.
